There defense is, a vote to continue debate is not a vote against anything, they will say there were some parts that needs fine tuning, same old crap different day.
Okay, I get why Gillibrand didn’t vote. But, the only other two not voting were John Effen Kerry and Juan McCain? Are the two of them off together somewhere, holding hands and writing a Gang of 2 plan?
WTF is up with McLame not voting?
I kinda wish TSHTF so we can just get a much needed purge started.
I am so sick and tired of all of this, its time to drop off the grid.
In looking at this chart, it brings up something that bothers me about Congressional practices.
First, you shouldnt be able to not vote. If you dont vote, you should leave.
Second, The way the vote is phrased, you have to say yes to “table” it, so it looks like the dems voted in affirmation of the bill, when really they voted in affirmation to drop it.
